Answer to Question 1

Binet and Simon's test was to determine who might need special assistance in school. Their test generated a mental age score for each child that was an estimate of the level of difficulty of problems that he or she could successfully solve. Lewis Terman of Stanford University created an American version of this test (known as the Stanford-Binet). His test used a different scoring system in which a child's intelligence quotient was said to be equal to his or her mental age divided by chronological age and that score times 100 (i.e., IQ = (MA/CA)100.

Answer to Question 2

Gardner's nine types of intelligences included linguistic (understand vocabulary and language), logical-mathematics (understand math), spatial (understand spatial relations), musical, bodily-kinesthetic (understand body position), interpersonal (understand others), intrapersonal (understand self), naturalistic (understand nature), and existential (understand one's existence in the universe).
